Mar. 30th, 2004 03:35 pmIt is beeeyooootiful out.
If it were August we'd all be piling on the sweaters and complaining... but it's spring! I took a set of references up to the copy shop and enjoyed the sunshine. (I also saw a very nice dress in Soho that would suit me just nicely. It was $565. Heigh ho.)
Think I'll take off early -- I have nothing much to do.

MIT Open CourseWare
Now that's cool. Shame I'm trying to spend less time on the computer...

feels like a milestone...
Mar. 30th, 2004 05:38 pm...and a weight off my shoulders.*
I called up McGill and asked them to reset my password so I could access my student records (it's been a long, looooooong time since I knew my MARS password). Looking at my transcript was like a 1-minute roller-coaster ride through undergrad, and it took a while for my heartbeat to return to normal.
I don't remember every single course, naturally, but I do remember each year very vividly. ( Gory transcript detail. )
raithen has just put to rest some 3? 4? (how long is it since I began to contemplate going back to school?) years of angst about how those last two years will look to admissions committees ("they will likely ask about them at an interview, then move on.... :D"). On the downside, I suppose this means I now have to rely on my application-writing talents rather than the brilliance of my transcript. Eek.
It seems silly, writing about it, but it does feel like one more demon stomped on.
*I suppose milestones are weights. Perhaps I've passed the milestone and taken the weight off my shoulders to rest for a bit. Does that mean I have to pick it up again, or can I just bury part of what's in the backpack and not think about it again? Can I beat a metaphor to death or what?
